The reaction of [CpMo(CO)₃]₂ with dicyclopentamethylenethiuram disulfide in refluxing xylene resulted a novel mono nuclear complex,

cis-[(CpMo(CO)₂{S₂C-N(CH₂)₅}] as red crystals in moderate yield. The compound was formed by the oxidative cleavage of metal-metal bond in [CpMo(CO)₃]₂ together with a reductive sulfur-sulfur bond scission in the ligand.
